Hey ladies – I’m a regular Nestie on the Houston board. (If you don’t know what that site is, it’s where all of us former Knotties keep chatting well past our wedding days). I was looking up some info on an artist who is playing a charity that is close to my heart on September 17th at Warehouse live, and came across this song. I played it for my husband and he got a tear in his eye and said to keep it for when our daughter is married some day. Anyway, I wanted to share it with y’all in case you’re looking for something to dance to with your dad. I know my own dad and I had a hard relationship but this would have been a good song for us if he had walked me down the aisle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LBUMnQgSTs&feature=related">
